What's the scariest movie you've ever seen?

[ReynardMuldrake]

I'm not talking about spookiest, or creepiest, or most suspenseful, or goriest, or trippiest, or the most ****ed-up...

But what movie has made you shit your pants? Kept you up at night? Gave you that sinking feeling? Made you afraid to leave the house?

What is the scariest movie you've ever seen?

American werewolf in London did it for me when I was a kid.

When i was a kid The Exorcist, Shining, and Carrie all freaked me out pretty good. oh, and that Doll story from Trilogy of Terror.

The first Paranormal Acvitiviy was kind of creepy for me because it was filmed here in San Diego and the house looked a lot like my house. Paranormal Acvitity 3 is at 89% on the tomatoe meter.

Sorry, missed this post.

To tell you what's going on in the movie gives away the whole ending. Which, by the way, is pretty ambiguous.

It's almost Halloween, rent it out and watch it in a dark room with no distractions. It's creepy as hell, but awesome. I'd love to hear your interpretation on it.

I think that image was from one of the sequels, where the series went in a comedic direction. In the first one, I remember Belial looking so much freakier. I can't put my finger on it, but something about the way he looked scared the piss out of me. And I watched all kinds of horror movies as a kid without being phased.

This image was from the original:

If David Lynch was used to make the Silent Hill movie, maybe it wouldn't have turned out to be a giant piece of dog shit.

The first half of Silent Hill was pretty good --- then it was tossed into a blender.

I may be a little biased because the SH game series (well 1-3) is my favorite.. but ah well.

I wonder if they're still working on the movie's sequel.

Oh, speaking of movies that you were scared of as a child that are ridiculous now. Ghoulies II used to scare me to death when I was 6 years old. I actually still somewhat like that POS movie now though. Beats Ghoulies 1, 3, and the INCREDIBLY awful Ghoulies IV. Where they didn't even have the Ghoulies..just two midgets in Spencer's Gifts troll costumes.

I was so obsessed with the story in SH 1 & 2, that I just couldn't accept what they turned it into for the movie going masses. Which is a shame, because they nailed the atmosphere and used Akira Yamoaka's music from the games. If they do make a sequel, it should revolve around the plot of James.

Oh yeah, if you like horror movies, you should check out AVGN's Monster Madness reviews. He does a review of a horror movie for every day in the month of October. He's done it for years now, so lots of short reviews to watch if you get bored. I enjoy them.

I don't know, I thought they did a pretty good job. No CG creatures, they were all real actors, and I thought the monsters were really well done. It did lose some steam towards the end but compared to most movie/game adaptations, I thought it was excellent.

Compared to most video game adaptations, it was pretty good. Unfortunately that isn't saying much. The creatures and the town looked awesome. The problem for me was the story and the acting was pretty forgettable. Half the movie was Rose running around yelling "CHERYL!". The trailer had me so pumped. Maybe the sequel will be better, but that's probably hoping for too much.

I started reading House Of Leaves about a year ago, but for the life of me I can't seem to get into it. I'm probably less than 100 pages into it. All of the footnotes and jumping back and forth between narratives (within the footnotes) and pages and pages of discussing the philosophical meaning of the word "mirror" have just prevented me from enjoying it. It seems like there's a kernel of good stuff in there (the house's interior dimensions being larger than the exterior dimensions), but I had a hard time getting to it. Is it worth my time to pick it back up and work my way through it?

Also, what is Marble Hornets?
